Chiefs' FA's really abuzz?
 
What does it say about your team and when none of your FA's have even been mentioned anywhere? I look all over every day and haven't seen one word mentioned about anyone looking at our FA's (Mitchell going to Detroit was a joke or what?) Has anyone seen anything about any of our guys getting a look or making a visit? By the way, do you think it is just coincidence that we never make a buzz this time of year (draft included) and we go anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7 all the time. Seems like we stay pat this time of year and have stayed pat almost a decade. (note: our last 13-3 season was directly due to Dante Hall saving our arses 4x---do the math--9-7)

It means the guys we're letting hit the market aren't key guys.

Probably means we aren't overpaying for free agents. Can you name a single free agent that made a huge impact on his team last season?

Signing a bunch of overrated players to large contracts isn't the key to building a winning team. Drafting good players is.

Aaron Brooks.

Or did you mean positive impact?

for once we're smart enough to rebuild and pass on over priced FA's in a seller's market?

is that the answer you were looking for....we went FA crazy in the last two years and have nothing but redrum's herpes infested mom to show for it....

I believe Ty Law had a huge impact on our post season chance. Problem is; he was the only one that seemed to be "dialed-in."

Direckshun 03-05-2007 08:27 PM

Adam Vinieterieaiei?

Or however you spell his name.

chiefforlife 03-05-2007 08:31 PM

Oddly enough, Jordan Black has been mentioned in Dallas?

1. Drew Brees
2. Adam Vinateri
3. Julian Peterson (89 tackles, 10 sacks)
4. Terrell Owens (a pain but you can't sneeze at 1180yds and 13 TDs)

Johnny the tits in your avatar look like they would have a naval between them, strange.

I am not talking about us signing FA's, I am talking about nobody seems to want any of our FA's. This tells me we have lots to replace if the guys we have aren't even worth visits to other teams. I think Peterson has done very well this off-season. We aren't going crazy and signing average guys to record-breaking contracts. We have addressed the LOT position with a solid veteran guy with many years left to play and now we have signed a middle line-backer that I thought was a great player for the Raiders before going to Minnesota. I think two positions that needed upgraded have been taken care of very adequately. My personal opinion is that Kawika starts at outside linebacker for Bell. We will address WR, DT and cornerback in the draft.

Great teams are a nice mix of drafting well and smart FA moves. KC has signed a couple of nice guys to decent contracts (from what it looks like). It's early, once the FA grades for every team come out... they'll say that NE gets an A and everyone else is a C or worse and then we can all complain. :p
